I have used Federal Power-shock 150gr soft points for a couple of years for deer. Usually they have a good entrance and large single exit wound. I have had double lung+ heart shot every time and been real happy with them. The deer take a couple leaps and then falls overThis year I messed something up and hit him in the neck/shoulder area, he just colapsed where he stood. The bullet worked, dear is dead. But my question is that while the entrace wound looked normal, the wound channel was about 3" deep and then the bullet must have exploded.When I cleaned the deer I found multiple areas that were afectedfrom further up the neck to broken right shoulder, broken left front leg, lung and heart damage, but no where did any fragments exit. I have to chew carfully when I eat Grouse, I don't want to have to do the same with deer. Is this dramatic fragmentation typical with this bullet, or is this a freak thing? This shot was about 80 yards.
